| - One of my favourite restaurants has hit the d/t core.
I am a huge fan of Joey's with their unique and tasty food to their beautiful and wonderful waitresses. This is the place to go after work or just chill with friends to have a drink.
I've been to this place two times already since it opened two weeks ago and the service is always outstanding and consistent. While you're waiting for your table waitresses come up and consistently give you food samples and drinks up until your table is ready. They have got the right idea when it comes customer service where the focus is on you and lets face it that will always make you keep coming back for more. The waitresses are very quick and approachable. Our waitresses in particular were always ready to help you out, as well like to make little conversations here and there whenever they could. I never once asked for a refill b/c our waitresses Brenda and Kristen were on it. Amazing service all around!
The interior is very beautiful with the dark tones, hard wood, with a very modern touch. The patio has a very nice concept, with a wide open area with a roof over your head looking out onto the busy Dundas St. The bar area is right in the middle and is the loudest part of the restaurant, due to all the speakers playing overhead, making it feel like a lounge. If you're looking for a more quieter atmosphere I would suggest you go upstairs to their one dining area, or to the very far right side of the bar or the patio area.
The food at this place does not disappoint, it's very consistent, fresh, and has that West Coast touch to it. During this visit we got a Rainbow Roll, Chili Chicken, Calamari, Ahi Tuna Tacos, Baha Tacos, and Sashimi Tuna Salad. We always get both tacos b/c they're so damn good and different, the wasabi lime sauce that they have on the side with the Ahi Tuna Tacos just compliments the tacos very well. The Chili chicken was PERFECT, that combination of the cold cucumber and the spicy, deep fried chicken was so refreshing. The deep fried calamari was very good on is own, but even better with the sauce they provided with. My only complaint about it was that it was a little salty. I ordered the Rainbow Roll expecting nothing of it, b/c to order a pure Japanese dish at a non-Japanese restaurant, yeah, I wasn't expecting it to be the best. However, they made a good attempt, the presentation was very nice, as well you could definitely taste the freshness of the seaweed and fish, but the rice was missing that vinaigrette flavor. My favorite dish at Joey's right now is the Sashimi Tuna Salad, the combination of greens, crunchy Asian noodles, juicy chunky mangoes, with a light vinaigrette sauce, and 10 pieces of really fresh, seared Ahi tuna. It's just heavenly.
Price wise you're looking at $12-$30 for food, drinks are $3 and up, one amazing experience, Priceless. :-D
Items to definitely get:
-Sashimi Tuna Salad
-Ahi Tuna Tacos
-Baja Fish Tacos
-Lobster Grilled Cheese
-BC Halibut & Shrimp Spaghettini
-Chili Chicken
